Do you have a bicentennial and want to know its value? Leave a comment

There are no 1975 United States quarters because of this commemorative piece.

Years in planning the U.S.A. bicentennial celebrations was a big deal. Even recently there were fire hydrants around my area still painted red, white, and blue for the occasion. In 1973 the mint announced that the quarter, half dollar, and dollar coins will be designed by citizen artists via a $5,000 contest. Eventually three designs were chosen and plans to cancel the same three 1975 coins, make silver versions, and issue a new two dollar bill became reality.

Victory torch encircled by 13 stars and a colonial drummer along with the typical mandated writing. JLA under the left arm are the initials of Jack L. Ahr the winning designer, not Justice League of America.

Normal obverse except for the dual date of 1776-1976.

This quarter was meant to be issued over a two year period with more than 800 million issued. So unfortunately these are not rare and even in high grade they are very common and worth very little.

I have a $100 note hand stamped in Philadelphia on the 200th Anniversary of the signing of the Articles on Confederation.What would it be worth.Comes in a plastic screen printed on the front passport-like folder with:1776-1976America's 200th Birthday& inside a holder for the note and a printed card describing the significance of the note.

I have a bicentennial quarter that appears to have silver in it. The colors don't match the copper/nickel of regular quarters. Also, it has the same sound that post 1965 quarters have when put with copper/nickel quarters. Could it possibly be worth more than just 25 cents?

I have a 1971 JFK half dollar. will this be worth money one day? Also I have 1961 nickel that looks all silver from the sides. Is there any year that silver in the coin is worth more than the face value? Thanks for your time

1971 JFK half dollar. will this be worth money one day?--In circulated condition just $0.50.

1961 nickel that looks all silver from the sides.--All nickels since 1946 are 75% copper and 25% nickel, the color is always silver.No extra value

Is there any year that silver in the coin is worth more than the face value?--All silver coins are worth more than face value.That is all 1964 or older dimes, quarters, and halves.For nickels there are special ones from 1942-1945 made of 40% silver.

I have a 1776-1976 Belgian Salute to the states Liege Arms museum plaque, in the original box. I have been trying to find its value, if any. I also have 2 proof sets from 1984, and 1987 packaged by the US mint.

I got ;1, Kennedy Half Dollar D 1776-1976, with the independence hall on the other side.i got ;1, Washington Quarter D 1776-1976 on both sides also with the 12 stars and instrument player.Next to this i got a certificate of authenticity for a limited edition Medellic First Day Cover,contains a Sterling Silver Proofof the official Bicentennial Day Commemorative Medal combined with the official United States Postal Service Bicentennial Commemorative STAMPS isseud on july4, 1976 and postmarked First Day of Issue..Tha Stampa are from july 4th 1776,first day of issue. The coin is covered with a dip of gold, so it`s gold collered yes. The writing comes in Dutch, like some of your forevaders, and English. The proof coin looks on one side the founding vaders and chairmans from the Bicentennial round a desk sining the independence day, what is written on the coin dated july 4th 1776, other side more partys with the text bicentennial day dated july 4th 1976....It`s in a cover named The American bicentennial medallic first day cover. How much is this all wurth. it is for sale.;)

Depends on what type of coin it is but most of these have little value above the silver content.

I have a bicentennial quarter I know they aren't worth much but what if the obverse is doubled? All of it is doubled to the southeast. Oh and thanks for the info on the 1985 d penny on a dime planchet, and anything on this quarter.

Right sorry it is a 1976 d well they are I've got 2 of them the other has a doubled reverse also. I've seen machine doubling the characters on these have a nice spread and can be seen as full and rounded. It matches all the pictures I could find. The second I'm sending to pcgs for ccertification. From my understanding if the reverse checks out as doubled die also it will be a new find. So I'm pretty excited to get it sent out. I'm new to this so I an sure I will have more questions for you and really appreciate all your help. Thanks again

I found a bicentennial quarter that seems a little off. It actually looks like its solid silver. Even the edge of the coin appears to be a single metal configuration. No copper stripe. It also sounds different when you flip it with your thumb. Aluminum maybe? Appears to have an S mint mark?I might be wrong on the mint mark

I have a 1976 Bicentennial quarter with a plating issue on front and back side. They are not uniform in pattern where plating is dulled. How can I tell if it is an error or if someone did something to the coin to cause this. Can send pictures if needed.

Hello and belated Happy New Year. I have a JFK Bicentennial that is golden colored. Also...there is a date of 1960 stamped into it above the 'In God' on the left...and on the right side...above the We Trust is 1983. Ideas on this coin welcome. thanks

Damaged, it was etched in by an outside company as a gift or something. No extra value.

I have a 1776 1976 bicentennial quarter with what looks like a blister on both sides of the coin , right below Washington's hair, and on the drummer's left shoulder on the reverse. It looks like something got between the clads.

Bubbles and blisters are common among clad coins, just heating them up can cause this. Whether it happened at the mint or after this is considered damage and has no extra value.

thank you for the info but i'm gonna go for older coins so i have the start of a new hobby.so i want to say thanks for the info and if you have any info on any old coin i should go for then please send me a message with more info.

how much do you think it is worth

Looks legit, the edge and double dent on either side does suggest end of strip error. Of course you must have this certified to get full value.

It has significant wear so grade is low and I'm being conservative so about $200.00 in a proper auction likely 2 to 3 times.
